If you need to run Mailpile v1 to access legacy data, consider usingourlegacy Docker images.

Mailpile (https://www.mailpile.is/) is a modern, fast web-mail clientwith user-friendly encryption and privacy features. The development ofMailpile is funded bya large community of backersand all code related to the project is and will be released under an OSIapproved Free Software license.

Mailpile places great emphasis on providing a clean, elegant userinterface and pleasant user experience. In particular, Mailpile aims tomake it easy and convenient to receive and send PGP encrypted or signede-mail.

Mailpile's primary user interface is web-based, but it also has a basiccommand-line interface and an API for developers. Using web technologyfor the interface allows Mailpile to function both as a local desktopapplication (accessed by visitinglocalhost in the browser) or aremote web-mail on a personal server or VPS.

The core of Mailpile is a fast search engine, custom written to dealwith large volumes of e-mail on consumer hardware. The search engineallows e-mail to be organized using tags (similar to GMail's labels) andthe application can be configured to automatically tag incoming maileither based on static rules or bayesian classifiers.

Bjarni R. Einarsson (http://bre.klaki.net/) created this! If youthink it's neat, you should also check out PageKite:https://pagekite.net/.Smári andBrennan joined the team in 2013 and madethis a real project (not just a toy search engine).

The original GMail team deserve a mention for their inspiring work:wishing the Free Software world had something like GMail is whatmotivated Bjarni to start working on Mailpile. We would also like tothank Edward Snowden for inspiring us to try and make PGP usable forjournalists and everday folks!
